Hydrogen bonds connect the nitrogenous bases in the double helix of DNA.
Hydrogen bonds connect the nitrogenous bases in the double helix of DNA.
False. Helicases unwind the double helix of DNA by breaking the hydrogen bonds between the nitrogenous bases, not the nitrogen bonds that link the bases.
Thymine hydrogen bonds help hold the two strands of DNA together in a double helix structure by forming specific bonds with adenine on the opposite strand. These hydrogen bonds provide stability to the overall DNA structure.
The weak chemical bond important in holding the DNA double helix together is the hydrogen bond. These bonds form between the nitrogenous bases of the two DNA strands, specifically between adenine and thymine, and guanine and cytosine. The hydrogen bonds provide stability to the double helical structure of DNA.
Hydrogen bonds connect the nitrogenous bases in a molecule of DNA. These bonds are relatively weak but crucial for maintaining the structure of the DNA double helix.
Hydrogen bonds connect the nitrogenous bases in the double helix of DNA.
In the double helix structure of nucleic acids, cytosine hydrogen bonds with guanine through three hydrogen bonds.
Hydrogen bonds
Generally hydrogen bonds between the different base pairs holds the double helix together.
My DNA forms a double helix due to the hydrogen bonds present in it.
False. Helicases unwind the double helix of DNA by breaking the hydrogen bonds between the nitrogenous bases, not the nitrogen bonds that link the bases.

The Nucleotides and the hydrogen bonds.
The weak chemical bond important in holding the DNA double helix together is the hydrogen bond. These bonds form between the nitrogenous bases of the two DNA strands, specifically between adenine and thymine, and guanine and cytosine. The hydrogen bonds provide stability to the double helical structure of DNA.
Helicase uses free energy from ATP to break the hydrogen bonds between the double helix of the DNA. It breaks the bonds between adenine and thymine, and guanine and cytosine. This unzips the double helix structure.
As a DNA double helix is gradually heated, the hydrogen bonds between the complementary base pairs will break first. These bonds are weaker compared to the covalent bonds that hold the sugar-phosphate backbone together. As the temperature increases, the stability of the hydrogen bonds decreases, leading to the unwinding of the double helix before the more stable covalent bonds are affected.
